Mechanics see a woman coming and BAM!!!

I have a high school chum that has a garage in Wethersfield that I was taking it to. The only reason I tried this other place down the street was because it was so convenient. I have a call into my friend now. My car is going into his shop tomorrow to get another estimate on all the work the other shop claims it needs.

Sorry Lady's Human, but I disagree with you on this one.

Yeay stereotypes!

You blonds are just so sily.

I heard Curt, one of the owners, tell a customer over the phone that he overcharged HIM

Unless HIM is transgender?


I hope your car gets all the right stuff at your friend's garage.

So.....

What if the mechanic's a woman? Does that mean she automatically takes advantage of men?

Caveat to those who might think LH is being serious - he knows better than to disparage anyone based on gender - or hair color, either, really. Ma'd zap him with a lightning bolt from heaven if he was serious.

Moosmom, and everyone - ignorance is always taken advantage of by the unscrupulous. As was stated before, READ your owner's manual. Technical writers put a lot of effort into making them understandable to average people.

Educate yourself, that is your only defense. And ask questions, and pay attention to the answers. Write things down if you have to.
